The Home Stretch!!!!!!!

My husband has been at AIT for 11 months, 2 wees and 5 days. Not that I have been counting. He will FINALLY come home October 24th.

Logically I knew this would come to an end at some point. Not gonna say there have been some super sucky parts but I cant wait for him to come home for good. (partly cause we are taking a "Done with AIT" cruise in December.

But for another reason as well. His total AIT is 62 weeks, a year and 10 weeks, a long *** time... how ever you want to put it. I now know that I can make it though a future deployment. Im not so nieve(sp?) to think that wont happen. Infact his MOS makes him even more deployable.

So I have 20 weekends to go. And the count continues.

Someone might have asked you this question already and I do not know if you work as well; but could you have gotten on the orders to accompany him to his AIT due to the duration? He could still complete his residency training at the hospital at the same post.

We thought about it, but my job (Yes, Im a Fed) is here as well as my somewhat existant support (flaky family), house, dogs etc. Due to the intensity of his course work we both desided I would be too much of a distraction (I visited Ft Sam a few times)he ended up graduating Phase 1 4th in his class with honors. The hospital where his residency is at is about 5 hours away and he could come home but with the cost of gas its almost prohibitive. (specially since his car is about ready to die, yay one more thing to worry about)

Ohhhh, I know about dying cars. I just brought a new 2011. I should have purchased a hybrid but I got a good deal so this car should be with me for the next decade. So what type of unit he will serve in?
